A fixation suture device (12) wherein an anchor (1) has a top (6), a core (2) and a tip (5) and external threads (4) located on the anchor core (2). An anchor aperture (3) is located on the anchor (1) for acceptance of sutures (13). To use the device (12), a surgeon passes the sutures (13) through a rotator cuff tendon (14). Then, the sutures (13) are passed through the anchor aperture (3) and the anchor tip (5) is positioned against a humerus (21) via a handle (22) and cannula (23). The surgeon pushes downward on the handle (22) to provide a downward force on the anchor (1) while pulling upward on the sutures (13) in order to produce a desired tension on the rotator cuff tendon (14). The surgeon rotates the anchor (1) into the humerus (21) while maintaining tension on the sutures (13). As the anchor (1) is rotated deeper and deeper into the humerus (21), the sutures (13) secured to the rotator cuff tendon (14) wind around the anchor core (2), thereby pulling the rotator cuff tendon (14) closer and closer to the anchor (1). When the anchor top (6) is in alignment with or located below the humerus (21), the sutures (13) wrap around the sutures (13) held by the surgeon to create a wrap (24).
